and how about George Strait! not quite as old as some of the others, but his music is deeply rooted in classic country and western genre. some of his earlier music was very much styled after Bob Wills and Texas Swing. and every year, he justs gets better at trying new material to play. but this one will always be one of my favorite George Strait songs, Amarillo By Morning. never was even a number one hit for him, but in many ways one of his signature songs.

it took me awhile to come around, but i really do like george strait! not sure he's "classic" yet....but he is damn good for sure!

and "amarillo by morning" is a great song! "love without end, amen" has gotta choke up almost any dad....well, maybe just me...

i think he's getting classic! much of his earlier music was very much deeply rooted in classic country and western style. he's become an inspiration to a new generation of country music artists as well.

i agree! he is getting classic....maybe i just don't want to be considered "classic" as well....
